IMPROVEMENT IN SPOUTS AND STRAINERS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 189,640, dated April 17, 1877; application filed March 7, 1877.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, FREDERIC1K-G.NIED- RINGHAUS and WILLIAM F. NIEDRINGHAUS,

residents of St. Louis, Missouri, have made a new and useful Improvement in the Mode of Attaching Spouts and Strainers of Vessels of Enameled Sheet-Iron Ware, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description,

. reference being had to the annexed drawing,

making part of this specification, in which- Figure 1 is a sectional view, showing a portion of the body of a vessel to which the spout and strainer are to be attached, and the flange used in attaching them, the parts being arranged as before the fastening of the flange in position; and Fig. 2, another sectional view, showing the flange, and also the strainer, attached to the body of the vessel.

inner end an inwardly-projecting flange, b, is then placed upon the flange a, the former flange being fitted to slip onto'the latter, as shown. The flange a of the body A is then turned down over and upon the flange b of the collar, locking the latter firmly to the vessel, as shown in Fig. 2. The spout (not shown) is then attached to the collar.

The improvement is intended especially for a vessel the body of which is finished with a coating of enamel, but having an ordinary metallic spout. We therefore make the body of the vessel of a metal to which enamel adheres; but the collar B is of a metal from which, as the vessel cools after baking, the enamel splinters 011'. This enables the spout to be attached to the collar by soldering.

The spout can be attached independently of the strainer O. This part, (the strainer,) however, can be attached as shown in Fig. 2, and as follows: The strainer is made to fit closely into the collar, and, after the latter is fastened in position, the strainer is placed against the flange a. The collar outside the strainer is then slightly contracted, as shown in Fig. 2, operating to fasten the strainer in place.

The enamel is applied to the vessel, preferably, after the strainer is attached.

We claim- 1. The enameled body A, having the flange a, and the collar B, having the flange b, without enamel, combined substantially as and for the purpose described.

2. The combination of the enameled body A, having the flange a, the collar B, having the flange 1), without enamel, and contracted as described, and the strainer O, substantially as described.
